This bill died with 2013-2014 Regular Session. It reached “Passed Assembly” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law authorizes a defendant who is charged with a vehicle infraction to elect to have a trial by written declaration, as specified. Under existing law, if the defendant is dissatisfied with the decision of the court in the trial by written declaration, he or she is entitled to a trial de novo. This bill would delete the requirement that those defendants be granted a trial de novo.
